There's a real movement right now toward open source AI and owning your own intelligence, and in this video I get your first local AI agent set up from scratch. Pi is a coding agent that runs right in your terminal. It's open source, you can point it at almost any model, and you can even point it at local models running on your own computer, which means no subscriptions and no data leaving your machine. Pi takes the opposite approach from something like Claude Code. Claude Code ships with a massive system prompt that burns around 10,000 tokens before you type a single thing. Pi's system prompt is about 1,000 tokens, with only four tools: read, write, edit, and bash. It's a thin harness you point at any model, so your agent is only as good as you build it. We install it, plug in every model on the market through one OpenRouter key, customize it with a command, a skill, and an extension, run it completely free and local, then run two models side by side to see what this harness can really do. 🛠 My Tools: Glaido🎙 : https://glaido.com/ Ollama🛠 : https://ollama.com HyperFrames🎬 : https://hyperframes.heygen.com 🔗 Resources Pi (install + packages): https://pi.dev OpenRouter (one key, every model): https://openrouter.ai Firecrawl CLI: https://firecrawl.dev Download VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com Watch this first (GLM 5.2 vs Opus 4.8):    • GLM-5.2 vs Opus 4.8: Have Open Source Mode...   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:40 - What Pi Actually Is 03:35 - Setup: Install + Connect a Model 06:55 - What To Watch Out For 10:25 - Make It Yours: Templates, Skills, Extensions, CLI 13:30 - Skill Tests 17:15 - Extensions + Packages 19:15 - CLI Install (Firecrawl) 21:55 - Run It Local, Free + Private 24:10 - Two Models, Side by Side 26:55 - Is Pi For You? 27:45 - Outro 28:50 - Blessing 33:30 - Blessing #piagent #localai #opensource #claude
